# Determine the region of convergence of series of complex functions

I have this problem. Find the region of convergence of the following series of complex functions

$$\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{2^n}{z^{2n}+1}$$

The progress I have made so far is that when n goes to infinity $f_n$ has a singularity everywhere in the border of the unit disc. So my intuition tells me that the series converges in the unit disc, although I don't know how to prove this.

• maybe outside the unit disc? – user66081 Jan 29 '15 at 21:12

• I am sorry, Did. It's true it is not fully answered. I have unaccepted the answer now. As for the problem, I have not been able to do further progress myself. – Angel Alonso Feb 5 '15 at 19:11

Note that, for $|z|> \sqrt{2}$, you have $|z^{2n}+1|> |z|^{2n}-1>2^n-1$. Moreover (suppose $|z|> \sqrt{2} + \varepsilon$) you can show that $$\left| \frac{2^n}{z^{2n}+1} \right| < \rho^n$$ with suitable $\rho <1$ depending on $\varepsilon$, so the series converges (at least) in the unlimited domain $\{ |z| > \sqrt{2} \}$.
